    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus for assisting an active motion of a finger including a standard stabilizer, a hyperextension-specific stabilizer having a shape being bent in a first direction, in which the finger is extended, an active motion-specific elastic part that generates an elastic force in the first direction or a second direction being an opposite direction to the first direction, and a mounting part, to which one of the standard stabilizer, the hyperextension-specific stabilizer, and the active motion-specific elastic part is selectively coupled to be separable, and on which the finger is worn.

    摘要: An anatomical brace for dynamically stabilizing the elbow during elbow articulation, the anatomical brace comprising: a brace body comprising a distal portion for fitting over the forearm of a user and a proximal portion for fitting over the upper arm of a user; a hinge mechanism comprising a distal segment, a proximal segment and a pivot for pivotally connecting the distal segment and the proximal segment, the distal segment of the hinge mechanism being mounted to the distal portion of the brace body and the proximal segment of the hinge mechanism being mounted to the proximal portion of the brace body; a pivot cable guide mounted to the anterior portion of the pivot; an upper arm cable guide mounted to at least one of the proximal segment of the hinge mechanism and the proximal portion of the brace body, the upper arm cable guide being configured to change the direction of a cable extending through the upper arm cable guide; an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) cable guide mounted to the brace body and configured to direct a cable extending through the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) cable guide over the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and toward the distal portion of the brace body; and a cable having a first end and a second end; the first end of the cable being mounted to the distal segment of the hinge mechanism, the second end of the cable being mounted to the distal portion of the brace body, and the cable being routed proximally along the distal segment of the hinge mechanism, through the pivot cable guide, proximally along the proximal segment of the hinge mechanism, through the upper arm cable guide, and through the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) cable guide; wherein, when the anatomical brace is mounted to the arm of a user so that the distal portion of the brace body is secured to the forearm of the user, and the proximal portion of the brace body is secured to the upper arm of the user, and when the elbow thereafter moves to full extension, the cable is tensioned, whereby to apply a force to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the user, and when the elbow thereafter moves to full flexion, the cable is relaxed, so that the force applied to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is released.

    摘要: In one embodiment a knee brace includes a tubular cushioning body; two sheaths disposed at two opposite sides of the tubular cushioning body respectively; and two sets of a plurality of elastic strips inserted into the sheaths respectively. There are further provided two tubes with the sets of the plurality of elastic strips inserted thereinto respectively. The tubes are inserted into the sheaths respectively.
